NGO accuses Myanmar junta of destroying humanitarian aid | Video

Yangon, Nov 10 (EFE/EPA).- Humanitarian group Fortify Rights accused the Myanmar military junta Wednesday of detaining humanitarian workers and destroying aid destined for civilians affected by the Myanmar conflict.

In a report entitled "Access Denied," the NGO claims that military junta forces block humanitarian aid in Kayah, Karenni state, where more than 100,000 people are displaced due to attacks by Myanmar soldiers against civilian targets.

Through more than 20 interviews, photographs, and videos taken on the ground, the group documented the detention of at least 14 humanitarian workers by the army and the destruction of food, medicine, and supplies destined for displaced people. (Camera: ARCHIVE).
